-## READ FIRST
-https://github.com/tmk/tmk_core/blob/master/doc/keymap.md
-
-## How to get keycode
-See [Keycodes](Keycodes). Keycodes are actually defined in [common/keycode.h](https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/tmk_core/common/keycode.h).
-
-## Sysrq key
-Use keycode for Print Screen(`KC_PSCREEN` or `KC_PSCR`) instead of `KC_SYSREQ`. Key combination of 'Alt + Print Screen' is recognized as 'System request'.
-
-See [issue #168](https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/168) and
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_request
-
-## Power key doesn't work
-Use `KC_PWR` instead of `KC_POWER` or vice versa.
-- `KC_PWR` works with Windows and Linux, not with OSX.
-- `KC_POWER` works with OSX and Linux, not with Windows.

-## Oneshot modifier
-Solves my personal 'the' problem. I often got 'the' or 'THe' wrongly instead of 'The'. Oneshot Shift mitgates this for me.
-https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/67
-
-## Modifier/Layer stuck
-Modifier keys or layers can be stuck unless layer switching is configured properly.
-For Modifier keys and layer actions you have to place `KC_TRANS` on same position of destination layer to unregister the modifier key or return to previous layer on release event.

-## Mechanical Lock Switch Support
-https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard#mechanical-locking-support
-
-This feature is for *mechanical lock switch* like this Alps one.
-http://deskthority.net/wiki/Alps_SKCL_Lock
-
-Using enabling this feature and using keycodes `LCAP`, `LNUM` or `LSCR` in keymap you can use physical locking CapsLock, NumLock or ScrollLock keys as you expected.
-
-Old vintage mechanical keyboards occasionally have lock switches but modern ones don't have. ***You don't need this feature in most case and just use keycodes `CAPS`, `NLCK` and `SLCK`.***

-## Input special charactors other than ASCII like Cédille 'Ç'
-NO UNIVERSAL METHOD TO INPUT THOSE WORKS OVER ALL SYSTEMS. You have to define **MACRO** in way specific to your OS or layout.
-
-See this post for example **MACRO** code.
-
-http://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/tmk-keyboard-firmware-collection-t4478-120.html#p195620
-
-On **Windows** you can use `AltGr` key or **Alt code**.
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltGr_key
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt_code
-
-On **Mac** OS defines `Option` key combinations.
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Option_key#Alternative_keyboard_input
-
-On **Xorg** you can use `compose` key, instead.
-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compose_key
-
-And see this for **Unicode** input.

-## Apple/Mac keyboard Fn
-Not supported.
-
-Apple/Mac keyboard sends keycode for Fn unlike most of other keyboards.
-I think you can send Apple Fn key using Apple venter specific Page 0xff01 and usage 0x0003. But you have to change HID Report Descriptor for this, of course.

-## Media control keys in Mac OSX
-#### KC_MNXT and KC_MPRV does not work on Mac
-Use `KC_MFFD`(`KC_MEDIA_FAST_FORWARD`) and `KC_MRWD`(`KC_MEDIA_REWIND`) instead of `KC_MNXT` and `KC_MPRV`.
-See https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/195
-
-
-## Keys supported in Mac OSX?
-You can know which keycodes are supported in OSX from this source code.
-
-`usb_2_adb_keymap` array maps Keyboard/Keypad Page usages to ADB scancodes(OSX internal keycodes).
-
-https://opensource.apple.com/source/IOHIDFamily/IOHIDFamily-606.1.7/IOHIDFamily/Cosmo_USB2ADB.c
-
-And `IOHIDConsumer::dispatchConsumerEvent` handles Consumer page usages.

-## JIS keys in Mac OSX
-Japanese JIS keyboard specific keys like `無変換(Muhenkan)`, `変換(Henkan)`, `ひらがな(hiragana)` are not recognized on OSX. You can use **Seil** to enable those keys, try following options.
-
-* Enable NFER Key on PC keyboard
-* Enable XFER Key on PC keyboard
-* Enable KATAKANA Key on PC keyboard

-## RN-42 Bluetooth doesn't work with Karabiner
-Karabiner - Keymapping tool on Mac OSX - ignores inputs from RN-42 module by default. You have to enable this option to make Karabiner working with your keyboard.

-## 32 Fn keys are not enough?
-### actionmap
-It uses 16 bit codes and has no limitation of 32 Fn at the expense of memory space. TMK keymap is actually is 8 bit codes as subset of the actionmap.

-## Eject on Mac OSX
-`EJCT` keycode works on OSX. https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/issues/250
-It seems Windows 10 ignores the code and Linux/Xorg recognizes but has no mapping by default.
-
-Not sure what keycode Eject is on genuine Apple keyboard actually. HHKB uses `F20` for Eject key(`Fn+f`) on Mac mode but this is not same as Apple Eject keycode probably.

-## What's weak_mods and real_mods in action_util.c
-___TO BE IMPROVED___
-
-real_mods is intended to retains state of real/physical modifier key state, while
-weak_mods retains state of virtual or temprary modifiers which should not affect state real modifier key.
-
-Let's say you hold down physical left shift key and type ACTION_MODS_KEY(LSHIFT, KC_A),
-
-with weak_mods,
-* (1) hold down left shift: real_mods |= MOD_BIT(LSHIFT)
-* (2) press ACTION_MODS_KEY(LSHIFT, KC_A): weak_mods |= MOD_BIT(LSHIFT)
-* (3) release ACTION_MODS_KEY(LSHIFT, KC_A): waek_mods &= ~MOD_BIT(LSHIFT)
-real_mods still keeps modifier state.
-
-without weak mods,
-* (1) hold down left shift: real_mods |= MOD_BIT(LSHIFT)
-* (2) press ACTION_MODS_KEY(LSHIFT, KC_A): real_mods |= MOD_BIT(LSHIFT)
-* (3) release ACTION_MODS_KEY(LSHIFT, KC_A): real_mods &= ~MOD_BIT(LSHIFT)
-here real_mods lost state for 'physical left shift'.
-
-weak_mods is ORed with real_mods when keyboard report is sent.

-
-## Timer functionality
-
-It's possible to start timers and read values for time-specific events - here's an example:
-
-```c
-static uint16_t key_timer;
-key_timer = timer_read();
-
-if (timer_elapsed(key_timer) < 100) {
- // do something if less than 100ms have passed
-} else {
- // do something if 100ms or more have passed
-}
-```
-
-It's best to declare the `static uint16_t key_timer;` at the top of the file, outside of any code blocks you're using it in.
-
